Arena Ipanema Hotel

Location is close to the beach but not on the beach. We can't see the beach well from the roof top like the picture in the web site as it is partially block by a building. Not many restaurants near by and need to walk 15 mins. It is not easier to find a good, new and good price hotel at Ipaname Beach. This beach is smaller than Copocabana beach. This hotel is decent and good size and quiet new. We can't see sunset from this beach or Copocabana beach.

La ubicación es excelente!! El hotel es nuevo y cómodo!!! Todo muy bien! Lo único negativo es que la habitación y el baño son pequeñas.Pero, igual, es cómodo.

Overall good. Hallways are not air conditioned. At some point we were stuck in a elevator with the power out, but that didn’t last too long. Breakfast was good every morning. The rooftop pool was nice as well. Loved our room, especially the shower and water pressure.

The hotel is in a great location for Ipanema beach; the rooms are a (very) good standard; the service ranged between outstanding to poor. Generally the front desk staff were excellent. The downsides are (a) the breakfast. Its not good and indeed avoid fluids as they are using local water and coffee etc not boiled properly; (b) the room was small by Rio standards so was not that comfortable if not in bed; (c) the sound proofing is very poor so the noise from hallway and adjoining rooms is quite shocking; (d) the gym is pretty pointless as its too small; (e) whilst the view is nice from the roof terrace it misses the sweep of Ipanema beach. Overall this is a mixed experience. I would not stay again and do travel to Rio frequently and will stay elsewhere next time.

Great choice for clean hotel in great neighborhood good price
